How to choose front sight for an M48 Mauser

I'd like to get a narrow front blade, preferably with a brass or fiberoptic inster for my Yugo Mauser. The dovetail is roughly 5mm wide. Looking through Brownell's, I can't figure out which replacement sights would fit it. Please advise.

Oleg, normally when I'm replacing front sights on Mausers I'm either replacing with an original or changing the front ramp et al. I'd probably get a Williams firesight the same height as your existing one and fit it to the dovetail. George
